Bali Fishing report. Jigging and trolling – 6 January 2010
Written on February 11, 2010 – 11:43 pm | by Bali Fishing
Early morning we were cruisng at 25 knots on our tiger catamaran boat, this boat powered by a twin 200HP yamaha 4 strokes engine.
the weather was cloudly and less wind. the sea seems calm and current are moderate.
We quickly arrived at our first spot, lowering down our 500 grams jig and start doing the jerk motion to play the jig. Less than 10 minutes, we had our first strike !!!
It was a dogtooth tuna that seems biting our jig. the spool drag tightened on 10 kilos drag, still spilled of our braided line, after a short run, took away about 100 meters of our line, the line was broke without us able to fight the fish, jut hold the rods. 1-0 for the fish.
sometimes later we had our 2nd strike, still dogtooth tuna at the end of the line, and line break again. then we decided to troll because the current is start to get strong, we lowered 500 grams jig still cant reach the bottom.
We troll around the atol, and wash, first strike, a double strike, the port side suddenly loss its line tension, the starboard tiagra reel still spilled off the line. we cleared others reels, and start fightting the fish, its a GT on the end of the line.
check out the fight in this video
after landing the fish,
we had anorther round for trollinga s we predict the current will be slower in about 30 minutes, then we had another bite, the reels screamminggg … then stop …, man !! missed this strike …. !!
We moved to another jigging spots, the upper current are about 4 knots, we were drifted away from the point, then we decided to moved back, reeled in all the line, half way up, a strike, this one hooked up perfectly !!
would it be another dogtooth tuna?
After the short run, we managed to reel our braid line into the reel, half way up, the fish did not run as strong as before… it must be amberjack or ruby snapper, several minutes later the fish surfaced, its a nice size of RUBY SNAPPER.
this is a 12 kilos good eat !!!
we bring the snapper aboard put it in the cool box and head back home. not bad for a 2 hours fishing !!! or may be we were lucky that day.
